1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware pot and cover with glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE
STONEWARE POT TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results, the slow cooker
should be at least half-lled. If cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between
the food and the top of the cooking pot, so ingredients can come to simmer.
NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the
bottom of the stoneware pot rst. Then add the meat and other ingredients.
NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, keep checking progress, as some soups may come
to boil. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cooking time.
WARNING: The stoneware pot CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature
changes. If the stoneware pot is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen
food, add some warm liquid.
